Only way you are getting paid off is if your table image is very aggressive or he has 8/9 of spades.

Agree. I like to mix it up, usually start tight, then loosen up. Sometimes I like to limp into a pot with a high pocket pair early at a table, then bet big on flop, get table to fold, then flip over hand to show them what I had

Table freaks out, thinks I am stupid for not raising pre-flop, then I spend next hour or two showing them I know how to play
